Skip the Dishes has been operating in the Okanagan for nearly two years and according to the delivery service, business is booming.
According to a Skip spokesperson, the most popular independent restaurants in 2019 so far this year are Bluetail Sushi Kitchen, Made in India, and Momo Sushi. Residents and visitors are enjoying the ease of the delivery service which offers quick and affordable service from popular restaurants in the Okanagan Valley.
Currently in Kelowna and West Kelowna there are 117 restaurants and fast food locations offering delivery service via the app. While the fast food options continue to be a fan favourite, people in our area can’t seem to get enough Asian and South Asian food.
The most ordered item so far this year is Miso soup, which has been ordered a whooping 8,000 times. This is followed closely by Butter chicken, which was ordered just over 7,000 times, and Junior chickens from MacDonalds, which were ordered nearly 6,500 times.
The biggest order ever in Kelowna cost a staggering $582 and included items such as seven baked apple pies, seven rotisserie chickens, five chocolate cakes, and plenty of sandwiches, pastas, and salads.
Meanwhile in Penticton, the food ordering trends are much different as Miso soup didn’t even make the list. According to Skip the Dishes, the most ordered items for 2019 so far are Butter chicken, which was ordered about 3,200 times, followed by Vegetable samosas, with nearly 3,000 individual orders, and Jr. bacon cheeseburgers, with over 850 orders.
Penticton’s biggest order ever cost just over $375 and included four orders of ribs, four orders of wings, four different kinds of pizza, and three orders of calamari.
In both cities, it’s no surprise that the busiest time to order through the Skip app is dinnertime. Skip the Dishes launched in Kelowna in September 2017, while Penticton received the service in February 2018.
